They all eventually gained their independence from Britain and France
The Middle East was divided up by the Treaty of Versailles into British and French Mandates as well as recognizing the independence of Hejaz and Nejd in Arabia. The British Mandates included Palestine, Transjordan, and Iraq and the French Mandates were Syria and Greater Lebanon.
After World War, the League of Nations issued mandates for the governance of certain areas formerly ruled by Germany and the Ottoman Empire. In the middle east, the British received a mandate for Palestine, Transjordan (Jordan) and Mesopotamia (Iraq). The French received a mandate for Syria and Lebanon.
After the war, the Ottoman lands were divided into mandates. The borders were drawn with no regard for what was best for the people who lived there. Because of this, the French and British were able to grab the control over the Middle East that they so badly wanted.
The British ruled the regions would become Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine as Mandates. From 1919-1921 the only two British Mandates in the Middle East were those of Iraq and Palestine. In 1922, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into the Mandate of Palestine and the Mandate of Transjordan.
After World War 2, most of the Mandates in the Middle East declared independence and established themselves as unique States. It was the end of the Turkish, British, and French Empires, leading to Arab Hegemony in most regions and the creation of modern Turkish, Iranian, and Israeli States.
Pretty much all of the conflicts in the Middle East changed borders except the Iran-Iraq War and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. The conflict that altered the borders of the Middle East most strongly in the 20th century was World War I and the creation of British and French Mandates.
